Kapamilya Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab 2.0 Big Winner Lella Ford has set her sights on honing her craft, sharing that she eagerly anticipates focusing on acting following her stint inside the PBB house.
“Trainings lang po talaga. Gusto ko po muna talaga hasain ‘yung sarili ko sa craft. Sa acting, dancing, singing. ‘Yun po talaga muna focus ko since ‘yun din naman dream ko– to be really good at it,” she shared.
When asked if she also plans to follow in the footsteps of her brother, Daniel Padilla, and mother, Karla Estrada, in pursuing music, Lella admitted that it’s not her focus for now. “I still have to practice my talents, which are singing and dancing, pero sa acting po talaga ang top priority ko now.”
Dubbed “Ang Blooming Bunso ng Tacloban,” Lella revealed that joining PBB Celebrity Collab 2.0 was more than a career move; it was a step to challenge herself and grow as a person. She said that sometimes she feels a bit unsure, particularly with the pressure and expectations that come with being part of a known family in the entertainment industry.
Looking ahead, Lella revealed her dream of starring in a romantic comedy with action elements, drawing inspiration from the 2005 film Mr. & Mrs. Smith. She expressed excitement at the possibility of taking on roles within the genre, blending both charm and intensity on screen.
She also does not mind going solo, while remaining open to the possibility of having a loveteam. “I just wanna act,I wanna work. So kung saan ako dadalhin. Yeah, I’m open to anything,” Lella said, stressing that her priority is to improve her craft.
Despite coming from a prominent showbiz clan, Lella is determined to carve out her own identity in the industry. “Gusto kong makilala ako ng mga tao bilang babaeng may paninindigan. May paninindigan, pero malambot ang puso,” Lella said.
Lella earned the Big Winner title last February 28, 2026, securing 53.63% of the total public votes.
